CAIRO. Egypt, Dec. 4 — (A*} —
Throngs estimated by some witnes-
ses to number 15.000 rioted in cen-
tral Cairo today against the parti-
tion of Palestine but broke up,
after damaging shops and street
cars, under a charge of police and
mobile guards brandishing

Information about reports from wit-
nesses saying three students were
killed. He denied another report
that the chief had been injured by
a hurled stone, saying Zaki Pasha
returned to headquarters “In perfect
health."
Another high police source said
the rioters set five streetcars on
fire, but that no casualties had
been reported to poltce. He said not
more than ten persons had been
arrested.
Witnesses said the students threw
stones, and empty bottles and that a

Violence Flares*
Anew in France
Government Enacts
Anti-Strike Law
PARIS, Dec. 4—(A*)—The govern-
ment, armed with a new and dras-
tic anti-strike law, made some dents
today in the Communist-propa-
gated strikes which have virtually
strangled French economy, but con-
fronted fresh violence on the fash-
ionable Riviera.
A mob seized the postoffice in
Cannes. Another throng was driven
back by rifle butts and truncheons
of mobile guards at the postoffice
in nice where the central labor com-
mittee called a general strike.
The government was striving to
reopen struck mines. Rail traffic
leaving Paris reached 80 percent of
normal and some commerce was
coming through the Atlantic ports.
Conditions Critical
Conditions along the Mediterran-
ean- coast were so critical that trains
Amwi Peris wore proceeding only a*
far as Lyon.
Socialist Premier Robert, Schu-
man's cabinet considered raising
salaries of public employes and the
council of ministers sepmed ready
to approve raising minimum pay
throughout France, a local Issue in
strikes led by the Communist-
dominated general Confederation of
Labor.
The national assembly beat down
Communist opposition before dawn
and passed Schuman's law redefin-
ing sabotage and Increasing penal-
ties. The use of fraud, threats or
violence In starting, spreading and
prolonging strikes became an of-
fense.
Textile Workers Return
In central and northern France,
the back to work movement was
gaining. Officials at Lille said only
4.000 textile workers remained on
strike compared to 125,000 a few
days ago.
A new syndicate of metal work-
ers was being formed in Paris, eli-
minating the Communists. Several
automobile factories in the capital
called their employed back to work
tomorrow’.
